By now, everyone knows how aggressive the Detroit Lions and head coach Dan Campbell are during games. Look no further than their fourth-down decisions during the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers back in January.

Here we go. The Detroit Lions are all set for the 2024 season. We’ve seen their initial 53-man roster already and now we know who’s going to be on their 16-man practice squad. Here’s the group. WR Tim Patrick: Probably safe to say that Patrick won’t be on the Lions practice squad for too long.
While none of the players the Detroit Lions waived were claimed off the waiver wire, one is signing with another team’s practice squad. According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, long snapper Scott Daly is signing to the Chicago Bears’ practice squad, and is expected to be their initial long snapper.
